Define the jaw, lose the double chin.
Submental fat — the pad under the chin — blurs the jawline and adds years to the profile. ARTNER offers three routes: dissolve it with a facial injection, slim-and-tighten the jaw, or remove it with a quick awake liposuction through a tiny hidden incision.
A sharper jaw, three ways.
The double chin is one of the highest-impact areas to treat — a defined jawline changes the whole profile. The right route depends on how much fat there is and whether the skin needs firming.
Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft under-chin pad over a few quick sessions with no downtime. Face ART-TUNE slims and tightens the jaw together. Double-chin ART-FAT liposuction removes a fuller pad through a tiny hidden incision under local anesthesia in about 30–45 minutes, with a 3–5 day social return. Dr. Pyeon matches the route to your chin.

Start from your goal.
The quickest way to narrow it down for the double chin.
Dissolve
A soft pad, no downtime — Face ARTNER injection.
Slim + firm
Fat and jaw skin together — Face ART-TUNE.
Remove for good
A fuller chin, ~30–45 min — ART-FAT.
A jawline is fat, skin and bone.
A double chin is usually submental fat — a subcutaneous pad under the chin — but lower-face heaviness can also come from loose skin, a receding chin or bone structure. Before treating, we work out how much is fat, because dissolving or removing the wrong thing won't sharpen the jaw.
For a fat pad, all three routes apply. The Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft pad with no downtime; Face ART-TUNE firms the jawline as it slims; Double-Chin ART-FAT removes a fuller pad in a quick, awake procedure through a tiny hidden incision. If the heaviness is skin or bone, we'll tell you honestly.
The result is half procedure, half aftercare.
A clean result on the day is only part of the outcome — how the double chin settles over the following weeks decides how smooth and even it finishes. That's why ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive aftercare system: dedicated recovery care rather than a procedure and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare is delivered with medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER uses Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) — a radiofrequency and ultrasound platform — to smooth the contour and support skin retraction as you heal. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea, so the aftercare is run by someone who helps train other clinics on the device.
Who it suits — and who we discuss further.
A good fit if you…
- Have a soft pad of fat under the chin
- Want a more defined jawline and profile
- Are at a stable weight and realistic about results
- Want a quick, low-downtime facial change
We'll talk it through if you…

- Have a receding chin or bone structure driving the look
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (please wait)
- Expect a jawline your bone structure won't allow
What recovery looks like
- Injection & ART-TUNE: no downtime, quick sessions
- ART-FAT: a tiny hidden incision, ~3–5 day social return
- Mild swelling under the chin settles in days
- We plan the timing around your travel
Good to know
- We assess whether the heaviness is fat, skin or bone first
- A defined jaw depends on skin and bone as well as fat
- A stable weight keeps the result
- We review you on WhatsApp after you fly home
Recovery, day by day.
Recovery depends on the route. The non-surgical options have essentially no downtime; ART-FAT liposuction follows a predictable arc.
- Non-surgical (Injection / ART-TUNE)No downtime — you return to your day immediately; facial fat reduces gradually across the course.
- ART-FAT · Day 0A quick awake procedure under local anesthesia through a tiny hidden incision. You leave the same day.
- ART-FAT · Days 1–3Mild swelling under the chin and jaw; manageable with light support.
- ART-FAT · Days 3–5Typical social return — back to everyday life.
- ART-FAT · Weeks 2–4Swelling settles and the jaw-to-neck line begins to show.
- ART-FAT · Months 2–3The final, defined result settles in.

Risks, and how we lower them.
Every medical treatment carries risk, and a clinic that hides it isn't one to trust. Non-surgical routes(Injection, ART-TUNE) may cause temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, and rarely small firm nodules; results are gradual. ART-FAT liposuction is surgery — expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness, with less common risks including contour irregularity, fluid collection or infection.
ARTNER lowers these risks deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you for cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine issues first; procedures are awake under local anesthesia, removing the risks of general anesthesia entirely; and we book one case a day, so the director's full attention is on you. When a case isn't safe yet, we say so.

A jawline is fat, skin and bone.
Before I treat a double chin I work out how much is fat, how much is loose skin, and how much is bone. Melt the wrong thing and the jaw doesn't change — reading it right is the whole result.

Good to know.
It depends on how much fat there is and whether skin firming matters. Face ARTNER Injection dissolves fat non-surgically over a course; Face ART-TUNE dissolves and tightens the skin together; Double-Chin ART-FAT removes the fat in one procedure. The table above compares your options for the double chin, and Dr. Pyeon recommends honestly at consultation — often the smallest route that will work.
Face ARTNER Injection is non-surgical with no downtime — ideal for mild, localized fat, built over a course. Double-Chin ART-FAT physically removes a larger amount in one awake procedure for a permanent change. If loose skin is also a concern, Face ART-TUNE adds skin lifting so you slim without a loose-skin trade-off.
As a guide for foreign patients: Face ARTNER Injection from ₩190,000; Face ART-TUNE from ₩390,000; Double-Chin ART-FAT from ₩1,190,000. Prices exclude VAT and are confirmed at consultation, and combined areas are discounted.
Yes — treatments are often staged or combined. Some patients dissolve first with the injection and refine with ART-FAT, or add ART-TUNE for skin tightening. Dr. Pyeon plans the sequence at consultation so you're not paying for more than you need.
It's ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — a cleaner formula than many off-the-shelf fat-dissolving shots, given as a course. It's patented and trademark-protected.
ART-FAT uses tiny access points, placed discreetly so they're hidden and fade over time. The non-surgical injection and ART-TUNE routes leave no incision at all — only fine needle points.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT liposuction don't come back, so the treated area is a lasting change as long as your weight stays stable. The injection reduces fat gradually; maintaining the result also depends on a stable weight.
Face ARTNER injection and ART-TUNE are same-day with no downtime. For double-chin ART-FAT liposuction, plan a 3–5 day social return.
Dr. Pyeon's team follows up remotely on WhatsApp in your language and will guide you through anything that comes up, including coordinating with a local clinic if needed. Serious complications are uncommon, especially given the awake, medically-screened approach.
Body contouring is safest when the whole patient is assessed, not just the target area. As an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Pyeon screens cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health before treatment — which matters most for international patients and anyone over 50 — and will honestly decline a case that isn't safe yet.

Individual results vary. Non-surgical injections and liposuction are medical procedures performed by a licensed physician after consultation; liposuction is surgical and carries risks, and not every treatment suits every patient.
